I agree. But the Bush administration had just officialy labeled the armed forces of Iran a "Terrorist Organization" Be afraid. . . Be very affraid.

I believe it is, and should be, unlawful to threaten the president. However, last I checked, the first amendmant has not been repealed yet, and it is perfecty OK to call him an a** *ole.
I agree. He IS an a** *ole.

An invasion using nuclear arms and legs might work for a time, but it would be counterproductive.
We need to stop invading countries just because we don't like their leaders.
Using that standard, every country in the world would have a basis to invade the US.

Not with everything tied up in Iraq. Even the presurge force levels there can't be maintained much longer without a massive increase in military manpower. An invasion of Iran would require an even larger buildup.
Actually, the Invasion of Iraq did succeed. And it succeeded brilliantly. Sadam's army destroyed, no WMD's found, Elections held, Sadam captured.
It's the Occupation that's failing. Not what the modern US military is designed to do. And it will likely fail no matter how many troops we commit. Democracies tend to lose wars of attrition. Dictators and fanatics never tire of sending their slaves and followers to be killed. We do.
We could probably mount a successful raid into Iran and destroy the nuclear facilities, but the price would be high. An invason with less than a million troops--eight times what we have committed in Iraq--would certainly fail.
There would be little support from NATO and no local support. Iranis hate their government, but they hate Westerners more.
I noticed after I clicked submit that you asked about Iran, not Iraq. Sorry. I hope the revised answer makes more sense.

Congress would never allow this, they are against the war now and, Bush's policy's, I rather doubt they would ever allow him to order a war against Iran. We don't have the man power now for what were doing. My Grandson has been over there for three years now.

and there could be a revolt I believe this country is so sick of Bush's overreach, Americans' are going to tell him to go into Iran himself with Cheney and the military will refuse to go there, I hope so, we have already lost too many people.over his terrible judgment. If the as***le doesn't knock off his campaign to rule the world he will have a full scale revolt on his hands.

No. Even with a draft. And why?
